Join us for an unforgettable 2 days Rwanda Gorilla and Golden Monkey Trekking tour. Experience the incredible mountain gorillas and playful golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park.
Day 1: Transfer from Kigali to Volcanoes NP. Travel time: 2hrs
Upon getting done with your hotel breakfast in Kigali, or upon arrival at Kigali airport (early noon flight recommended), you will be met by our company representative, who will introduce you to your safari driver guide, who will brief you shortly and later transfer you to the booked accommodation in Musanze. Dinner and overnight stay at the Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge (L, D)
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking Experience and transfer to Kigali
Finally, here comes the day, to get face to face with the gentle gorillas. After your breakfast at the lodge, your guide will be right there, to pick you up from your lodge, for briefing at the park headquarters’, for briefing and group allocation and you will later set off, for the search in the jungle, to allocate the gorillas. A minimal level of fitness is required, such that you will be in full gear to hike at great energy. In a short while of hike, you will definitely, find the gorillas, and you will have an ample moment, of interaction, one on one, eye to eye, and if lucky, shoulder to shoulder with these great apes, as you meet them in their natural setting.
The trek can last for 2 – 6 hours, depending on the gorilla movements, and your fitness level. This is always looked at as a one or two life time moment, where you come face to face with the gorillas. The experience is magical, I have no words to describe it. An hour will be allocated for you, such that your able to stay calm in their presence, take as many photos of your choices, and video clips as well. Later return for lunch and you drive back to Kigali, and drop off at your hotel in Kigali.
